Author Bio

Clive Staples Lewis was born in 1898. Known as "Jack" by his friends, Lewis and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of a writer's club, The Inklings, who would meet at the local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis's fascination with fairytales, myths, and ancient legends coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books in the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia followed, and the final title, The Last Battle, received the Carnegie Award, one of the highest marks of excellence in children's literature.

Editorial Reviews

“This NRSV edition can survive beyond the Sunday-school classroom or hotel nightstand; the reader walks away with a greater appreciation for Lewis’s oeuvre, and may even pick up a thing or two from the Good Book in the process.”
For longtime admirers of Lewisor those just awakened to his contributions through the Narnia films[The C.S. Lewis Bible] would make a welcome addition to enrich personal devotional times.

Someone left a copy of this Bible in our Sunday School classroom, and I have been reading bits and pieces of it for the past year or so. The C.S. Lewis quotes are peppered throughout the Bible at relevant points. The quotes are from all aspects of Lewis' writings. It's very well done. I bought one for myself and bought three for gifts.

I was VERY excited to find the C.S. Lewis Bible at CBD.com but if you take a look at the picture you might realize what I found disappointing. I saw that lovely mint, cream and chocolate cover and I thought that is what the cover of the Bible would be. I know you CAN'T judge a book by it's cover (lol) and the contents are lovely. It is my fault for not looking at ALL the views provided with the item. I do see that it is shown in the all brown cover as well. I AM looking forward to using the NRSV as that is a version I am unfamiliar with. I think I will use this version for my reading through the Bible in this next year!

When I decided to look for a NRSV bible, I came across this version, which included excerpts from the writings of C.S. Lewis and decided to give it a try. What a treasure it is! I have always loved his writings, and passages have been skillfully placed throughout this bible to add to the richness of the biblical text. My "study bible" is an NIV translation, which has always felt a bit too casual for me. I am much more comfortable with the NRSV. I could not be more pleased with this purchase!
